  • ISACA Luxembourg Update - June 2024

    A Message from Phil Frimpong, ISACA Luxembourg Chapter President

    Dear ISACA Luxembourg Chapter Members,

    It is time to celebrate!  If you are working in Luxembourg, Luxembourg’s national day, June 23, which falls on a Sunday.  This means an extra day of vacation to take whenever it suits.  Before you leave for the summer, however, there are a few points to highlight.

    Tuesday, June 18, 2024, is the ISACA Luxembourg chapter’s annual general meeting (AGM).  This is held once a year, and it is an opportunity for the president to keep the members updated on how our ‘not for profit’ organisation is running.  I am pleased to say that our membership has increased by 25 people over the previous period.  Excellent training continues to be offered.  Finally, the events, which brings us together, have featured great collaboration with our London colleagues as well as highlighting amazing local Luxembourg speakers.  

    I would like to recognise Shaun McGrath, our board member who is in touch with you often.  He sends out the event invitations as well as recording your CPEs (a very important person to know).  Shaun is Canadian, from Montreal, and moved to Europe in 2008. After a year in Paris, he and his wife were looking for a calmer, greener environment for the family and moved to Luxembourg.  Since then, 2 kids, 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 hamster and a few fishes have been added to complete the family!  

    Looking forward, the ISACA Luxembourg board’s main goal this year will be to continue to improve the brand recognition and awareness of ISACA in Luxembourg and the greater region.  The budget in this area will increase in the next year in order to engage a media company to facilitate this task.  This will help make the ISACA credentials even more meaningful in the marketplace. 

    Students are important to our membership.  I would like to highlight the research project that Crismely Jiménez is doing for her IT Security Management Master’s degree.  She is collecting information through a survey on what are the challenges of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for Luxembourg’s financial institutions.  This will take less than 10 minutes, and there is no personal data collected.  Only leave your email address, if you are interested in the results.  Please help Crismely with her project here:  https://forms.office.com/e/0G8HXVgxQr or through her LinkedIn profile: linkedin.com/in/cris-jimenez

    I am looking forward to the event on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, @ 5:30PM, not only will the AGM take place, but also M. Jean-Pierre Faber, Executive Committee member and Director at the CSSF will talk about ongoing changes in the regulatory landscape and how the regulator is evolving to continue to meet its objective by integrating new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence.

    Looking forward to your continued participation,

    Phil
